Client Reviews

★★★★★

Is complicated how to describe H.F. Layton services ” The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but throws himself on your part so hearty, that he can get you out of and scrape” was just a wonderfull work in my case..
Thanks

Ferdy has been my attorney since 2013. He has helped me through a very rough divorce and custody case! He is a wonderful attorney, he knows his stuff!! He doesn’t beat around the bush, or sugar coat anything…He tells me like it is, and if I am being unreasonable he lets me know. I respect that very much! He has travelled with me to San Jose and back for numerous hearings and I have 100% confidence in him.

I’ve been using them since summer of 2019 with extensive custody battle including a long cause hearing. I hate that Ferdy has to set me straight when I’m being unreasonable but at the same time I love that attribute in him. Couldn’t be happier with his representation. There’s no winners in custody battles. That being said he is a bull dog for the best interest of my children.
